Hello Aspirant,

If we go through the analysis of marks Vs Percentile Vs rank for JEE-Main 2020 then according to the percentile mentioned by you in the question your rank is expected to be in the range of 347843 - 391026, you can check out marks Vs ranks Vs Percentile from the link given below :-

Or

You can also use JEE-Main Rank Predictor to predict your rank :-

As we go through the latest cut-offs of JEE-Main 2020 of JOSAA 6th round then it shows that the closing rank for ST candidates for NIT Meghalaya was 2505 for Mechanical Engineering branch in NIT Meghalaya under Other state quota for ST category. And your ST rank is expected to be above 20,000 so you have no chances to get NIT Meghalaya even if you have Home state quota and same thing for NIT Mizoram. But yes if you improve your percentile in any further session of JEE-Main like around 80-90 then you might have a shot at NIT mentioned NITs.

You can check out the latest cut-offs from the link given below :-

Note that the above prediction is made on the basis of latest cut-offs available on official website of JOSAA or CSAB and the cut-offs are bound to change every year depending upon various factors such as the number of candidates appearing in an examination, the number of candidates qualifying an examination, difficulty level of the paper, and so on.
